Sports is a bunch of people gathering around, watching something that they're not actually connected to - they're just emotionally connected.

A fight involves the emotion, the strategy of combat. There are many factors connected to a fight.

Lyoto Machida

In an effort to civilize combat sports, authorities mandated padded gloves and instantly made the sports far more savage. Granted, putting gloves on the hands seems like a nice thing to do. If you were being punched in the brain by a powerful man, wouldn't you rather he strap a pillow around his fist? But the glove doesn't do anything to diminish your brain damage.

Jonathan Gottschall

Correct me if I'm wrong - the gizmo is connected to the flingflang connected to the watzis, watzis connected to the doo-dad connected to the ding dong.
